I am looking at one myself, I am either going to call Wallace Wallace Tractor and Equipment NEPA Compact Tractors Lake Ariel Poconos Honesdale PA or Markham Markham Welding - Tooth Bar in the next few weeks and say... ship it.

I can call my dealer tomorrow and ask him where mine came from. I have no less than 25 hrs on the toothbar itself, as I sometimes use the FEL without it depending on what I am doing. i have snapped roots, dug dirt, scraped ice, and dug rock with it, as well as popping small stumps. Its still black on top, but all shiny silver on the working ends. I have no complaints, and it's probably the most used piece of equipment i own after the FEL bucket itself.

You know, I'm wondering if there really is much of a difference from one brand to the next. It seems everyone is happy with which ever brand they go with.

I do know they could make a difference, but on a tractor, I just don't think it will. My buddy has bent a tooth on his toothbar, but that's on a skidsteer capable of lifting over 2000 lbs.

Me, I have one from Wallace. It works fine, but I wish it had an extra tooth. I'm not saying it needs one, but I just like them spaced a little closer together. But then again, it might look funny if another one was on there.

got my cutting edge from wallace, nice stuff and great service.

Everyone has their opinion, but I am a firm believer in not doing anymore work than required. I called Rick Wallace, he asked me what tractor/loader and OEM bucket. Exactly 1.5 days later I had a Woods toothbar on my doorstep shipped UPS. And boy can it dig and pop some trees out of the ground. Havent bent or needed to replace a tooth yet . . .

I put a Markham on my KL 130 last year. It arrived the day after I called them, fit perfectly and overall, I'm very happy with it.

I put a Markham toothbar on my 3054xs and am happy with the fit and apparent quality of it, but, I saw in another post? a W.R.Long, I believe it was, and was really impressed with the design of it; The teeth are level with the bottom of the bucket and the attachment encapsulates the original cutting edge. The teeth being level allows you to use the bucket to back-drag and the way the unit mounts reinforces and protects the cutting edge.Wish I had seen this before ordering from Markham

I bought a Markham for my CK20 and couldn't be happier.
